Faith leaders meet with Trump in White House
Faith leaders from various denominations recently gathered in the Oval Office to pray with President Donald Trump. The White House shared an image of the leaders surrounding Trump as they lifted him up in prayer. Among the attendees was William Wolfe, the executive director of the Center for Baptist Leadership, who expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to meet with the president and pray for him.
Another influential figure present was Robert Jeffries, the pastor at First Baptist Dallas church, who also led a prayer for Trump during the meeting. David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, described the experience as an honor and emphasized Trump’s support for faith-based initiatives and policies that uphold family values.
In a move to further strengthen ties with religious communities, Trump recently signed an executive order establishing the White House Faith Office within the Domestic Policy Council. This office will collaborate with faith leaders on issues such as religious liberty and other relevant topics.
The event at the Oval Office was just one of many engagements for Trump, as he is set to host the Catholics for Catholics Gala at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. The gala will feature speakers such as retired U.S. Army Gen. Michael Flynn and veteran political consultant Roger Stone.
Overall, the gathering of faith leaders in the Oval Office highlights the importance of spirituality in the political sphere and underscores the value of prayer and support from various religious communities. It serves as a testament to the ongoing relationship between the administration and faith-based organizations, as they work together towards common goals and values.
